Why is it important to develop a child’s speech?
It is known that correct and beautiful speech contributes to successful communication, learning and development of a child.
Competent, correct speech gives a feeling of self-confidence and allows you to find a common language with others. Children who speak well stand out from their peers in a positive way.
Timely development of speech allows children to actively explore the world and interact with it.
Experts say that recently the quality of children's speech has declined sharply. Many children have speech development disorders (incorrect pronunciation, inability to speak coherently, delayed speech development - SRD, etc.). There are reasons for this:
- deterioration of children's health;
- decreased amount of communication with others;
- long games with smartphones, watching cartoons too often;
- decrease in the speech culture of adults (foul language, filler words, incorrect use of word meanings, etc.);
- lack of speech education in the family.
Children's speech can and should be developed. Listening, reading and discussing children's fiction works well for this. In this way, the vocabulary is enriched, the child gets acquainted with the culture of speech, and learns emotional and intonation expressiveness.
There are also a variety of poems, songs and tongue twisters that not only develop speech, but also help solve speech therapy problems (for example, improve sound pronunciation).
Children's literature based on oral folk art is considered especially useful and close to children.
The use of folk art in the development of preschool children
About folk art.
Description of the material: I offer you material on the topic “folk art”. This material will be useful to employees of preschool educational institutions and parents. Through the sieve of centuries, the people have sifted their cultural heritage, leaving the most valuable in folklore, artistic crafts, decorative and applied arts. Folk art is an inexhaustible source of aesthetic, moral, and patriotic education of preschool children. Folk wisdom, contained in fairy tales, nursery rhymes, jokes, riddles, and sayings, has for many centuries fostered in children pride in the talent of the common people, interest in accurate, expressive words, and love for their native language. Children are very sensitive to well-aimed folk words. They use in their speech certain figurative expressions borrowed from folklore, memorize and enjoy reading nursery rhymes, and ask riddles. Objects of decorative and applied art are also of great interest: wood carving, embroidery, lace weaving, etc. The use of all these types of folk art in working with preschoolers enlivens the pedagogical process and has a special impact on the education of patriotic feelings.
Small folklore forms used in working with children reveal the picturesqueness of the Russian language. An appropriately read nursery rhyme, riddle, or counting rhyme improves children’s mood, brings a smile to a sad child, and calms a crying child. Kids love folk games accompanied by songs. Of particular importance is the introduction of small folklore forms and vivid folk expressions into the living spoken word. In the process of washing, dressing, getting ready for a walk, use a nursery rhyme, a riddle, or a joke. When introducing children to works of oral folk art, and above all to fairy tales, it is necessary to explain to children why a fairy tale is called a folk tale: “The grandparents of our grandparents knew this fairy tale. And it’s unknown who invented it, so they say it’s folk. Talented people have come up with many wonderful fairy tales.” Adults often do not attach importance to the methodology for performing fairy tales, due to which “the art of storytelling has almost degenerated in kindergarten pedagogy and has been replaced by reading.” A folk tale, by its nature, construction, means of expression and language, requires that it be told; this ensures contact with listeners and creates a certain mood in the children's audience. The impressions will be more vivid and powerful if you tell a fairy tale in national costume. When introducing preschoolers to proverbs and sayings, it is necessary to tell that people have created apt short expressions that ridicule laziness, praise courage, modesty, and hard work; explain when it is appropriate to use sayings and proverbs. Children gradually begin to use sayings themselves, their speech becomes more vivid and expressive. Children really enjoy free dramatizations of folk songs. A folk song should become an integral part of a child’s life, then it will be truly native, familiar to the child’s ears, like his native language. Kokoshniks, bast shoes, rockers and other attributes, in the preparation of which adults and children take part, complement the experience. You can introduce children to folk art at leisure evenings and at special holiday matinees. The work of introducing children to folk art is an important aspect of the overall work of developing patriotic feelings, nurturing love and interest in our Motherland, in its great people.

What are the benefits of developing speech with the help of folk art (folklore)
Folklore is oral folk art. This includes:
- fairy tales;
- epics;
- songs;
- Tongue Twisters;
- sayings;
- proverbs;
- nursery rhymes;
- puzzles;
- counting rhymes.
Folklore always contains interesting content and vivid images. It forms a positive attitude towards the world around us, develops the child’s imagination and speech, and also introduces folk traditions and culture.
Listening to Russian folk works and playing finger games with parents, the child develops.
For example, nursery rhymes often contain onomatopoeias of animals, which the little ones want to repeat.
With the help of rhythm and rhyme, which are present in poems, counting rhymes and nursery rhymes, the child learns intonation expressiveness.
Folklore enriches a child’s speech, increasing his vocabulary. Finger games with nursery rhymes develop fine motor skills, which, as you know, are closely related to speech.
These tongue twisters, nursery rhymes and even fairy tales are easy to remember; they train the child’s memory and activate speech. Children try to imitate the intonation and pronunciation of the characters.
There are not only Russian folk sayings, songs and nursery rhymes, but also modern ones that are more understandable to children. You can even find tongue twisters in a foreign language. Both are of great benefit for speech development.

Folk art is a pure and eternal source. It has a beneficial effect on children , develops their creativity , equips them with knowledge, “brings beauty to children”
.
It comes from the soul, and the people’s soul is kind and beautiful .
The people showed their creative aspirations and abilities in creating objects needed in everyday life and work. In order for children to show curiosity about antiques, we, together with our parents, created a mini-museum “Russian Izba”
with
household . Children look with interest at the chest, stove, cast iron, stag, ruble, samovar, wooden spoons, embroidered towels, Russian folk costume and other exhibits. Surrounding objects have a great influence on the formation of a child’s mental qualities - they develop curiosity, cultivate a sense of beauty . Familiarization with folk art takes place in a “hut”

This folk wisdom , preserved over the centuries, must be passed on to children.
Introducing preschool children to traditional folk culture through folk holidays gives good results, as children show interest in folk culture and the history of the people , and show a sense of pride in their Fatherland.
Folk ritual holidays are always associated with the game. But folk games , unfortunately, have almost disappeared from childhood today.

Games develop dexterity, speed of movement, strength, accuracy, teach intelligence and attention. They have a lot of humor, jokes, and enthusiasm. The movements are accompanied by funny moments, children’s favorite counting rhymes, and toss-ups. Folk games form children's culture , maintain health and a healthy lifestyle.

On the role of oral folk art in raising children

“The spiritual life of a child is complete only when he lives in the world of games, fairy tales, music, and fantasy. Without this, he is a dried flower."
V.A. Sukhomlinsky
The importance of works of oral folk art in the process of education and development of a preschool child is great. Folklore is a source of pedagogical influence on preschoolers, the basic basis for the education of morality, aesthetic feelings, and patriotism. In the process of its development, there is a huge impact on the emotional and moral spheres of the child [1, p.4].
The functions of educating oral folk art are that it promotes the understanding of such categories as good-evil, generosity-greed, honor, modesty, duty, etc. Russian folklore is comparable to a pure spring, after drinking from which a child gets to know his native people in his heart, becomes the spiritual heir of his traditions, which means he grows up to be a real person [1, p.7].
Already at an early age, a child encounters nursery rhymes, which represent one of the small forms of folklore works. For the child, the semantic content, the rhythm of words, and the ability to perform various actions when pronouncing the text become important. He experiences an emotional outburst, and this also helps to change his behavior, especially during the period of getting used to the conditions of being in kindergarten. With the help of a nursery rhyme or folk song, you can switch the child’s attention to some toy, evoke positive emotions towards the teacher, develop a sense of the need to perform such routine moments as sleeping, washing, combing one’s hair, eating, etc.
A fairy tale is a special means of educating a preschooler’s morality. She helps to demonstrate that friendship can overcome evil, that evil is always punished, and good deeds are always rewarded. Usually, positive heroes of fairy tales have character traits and intellectual abilities that are more valuable to a person. The child learns to evaluate the actions of positive and negative heroes, to find ways to help and protect the deceived and offended. Thanks to fairy-tale heroes, the child begins to understand what he should strive for and what actions to perform. Fairy tales always contain a lesson that the child learns for himself. Moral education is possible through all types of folk tales, because morality is initially inherent in their plots [3, p.31]. According to K.I. Chukovsky, a fairy tale improves, enriches and humanizes the child’s psyche, since the child feels like an active participant in it and always identifies himself with one of its characters fighting for good. This sympathy of children for the heroes of a fairy tale lies the main educational meaning of a fairy tale” [12].
In addition, based on the plot of a fairy tale, one can teach the basics of life safety, introduce dangerous aspects that can await a child in real life, and also draw parallels with reality [5, p. 124].
Works of oral folk art are a special means of forming and nurturing patriotic feelings in preschool age. They contain specific facts and images of heroes that arouse children's interest. A special place here is occupied by heroic tales, which tell about the heroic deeds of characters during the liberation of their people, their native land from enemies and evil spirits. K.D. Ushinsky considers children’s interest in various works of folklore as “an indicator of an emerging feeling of love for their native land, its history, nature, and people’s work” [7, pp. 13, 16, 17].
It is impossible not to note the importance of oral folk art for the formation of cognitive interest. “Fairy tales, depending on the topic and content, make listeners think and make them think. Often a child concludes: “This doesn’t happen in life.” The question involuntarily arises: “What happens in life?” Already the conversation between the narrator and the child, which contains the answer to this question, has educational significance. But fairy tales also contain educational material directly. It should be noted that the educational significance of fairy tales extends, in particular, to individual details of folk customs and traditions and even to everyday trifles” [2, p. 122]. For example, the Russian folk tale “Kolobok” introduces children to traditional Russian cuisine, the recipe for making kolob, and concepts such as “barn”, “susek”, “yarn”, thereby broadening their horizons and introducing them to the origins of the Russian language [16, p.24, 26].
Folklore reveals all the delights of the Russian language and enriches the speech of a preschooler. According to K.D. Ushinsky, “folklore texts awaken to life the seeds of the native word, which are always rooted, albeit unconsciously, in the soul of a child” (8, p. 298). Works of folklore allow a child to immerse himself in the beauty of his native language and influence the imagery of speech. Even the great children's writer K.I. Chukovsky in his book “From Two to Five” said that “all kinds of folk songs, fairy tales, proverbs, sayings, riddles, which constitute the favorite mental food of preschoolers, best introduce the child to the basics of folk speech” [12 ].
In works of oral folk art that influence environmental education, the connection between man and nature is very clearly visible. This is how numerous proverbs reflect observations of natural phenomena and their power. Round dance is an action that is completely connected with nature. Thus, nurturing love for native nature can also be based on folk pedagogy [4, pp. 42-44].
In addition to works of Russian folklore, works of folklore of the peoples of the world should also organically fit into a preschooler’s reading circle, which introduce the child to national cultures, instilling him in universal values. By comparing the works of different nations, the child gets the opportunity to make an initial analysis of national characteristics, which contributes to the understanding of common moral positions and common goals of the folklore of each nation [7, p.16].
In conclusion, we emphasize once again that the role of folklore in raising a child is limitless. Oral folk art has an educational effect on the development of personality, feelings, character traits that connect a child with his people through songs, games, dances, fairy tales, etc. This is a source of pedagogical material, the basis of speech, moral, aesthetic, patriotic, and environmental education. Using the heritage of the people in work enlivens the pedagogical process.
